So we’re just over halfway through lent now, thank goodness. I’ve given up cake and biscuits, after the now infamous eight pieces of cake in one day episode a few weeks ago. It’s going relatively well, especially as I’m basically just replacing cake with chocolate, but I miss baking. It got to the point where I made cakes that I couldn’t eat, which was very upsetting. But today I turned to savouries, and made these delicious chorizo savoury muffins, to keep me going for a while.

I got this from here, a good recipe but intensely annoying use of cups. I did one and a half cups of self raising to one cup of wholemeal, because that’s just how I roll.

Fry the chili and chorizo together, then remove from the pan and wilt the spinach. Put the flours and baking powder in a bowl and add the spinach, cheese and chorizo, mix well. Beat together the butter, egg and milk and add to the mixture. Put into muffin/cupcake cases and bake for 25 minutes at 200 degrees c. Try not to eat too many of them at once.
